Abstract
Past studies of hazardous waste incinerators by the Hazardous Waste Engineering Research Laboratory have primarily examined the performance of combustion systems relative to the destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) for Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Appendix VIII compounds in the waste feed. These earlier studies demonstrated that in general most facilities performed quite well relative to the DRE. However, subsequent review by the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Science Advisory Board raised questions about additional Appendix VIII or non-Appendix VIII constituents that were not identified in the earlier tests and might be emitted from hazardous waste combustion. The report presents results of a characterization of incinerator effluents to the extent that the emitted compounds can be identified and quantified. Measurements were made of both Appendix VIII and non-Appendix VIII compounds in all effluents (stack, ash, water, etc.) from a full scale incinerator.

"Past studies of hazardous waste incinerators by the Hazardous Waste Engineering Research Laboratory have primarily examined the performance of combustion systems relative to the destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) for Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Appendix VIII compounds in the waste feed. These earlier studies demonstrated that in general most facilities performed quite well relative to the DRE. However, subsequent review by the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Science Advisory Board raised questions about additional Appendix VIII or non-Appendix VIII constituents that were not identified in the earlier tests and might be emitted from hazardous waste combustion. The full report presents results of a characterization of incinerator effluents to the extent that the emitted compounds can be identified and quantified. Measurements were made of both Appendix VIII and non-Appendix VIII compounds in all effluents (stack, ash, water, etc.) from a full-scale incinerator. A broad array of sampling and analysis techniques were used. Sampling methods included Modified Method 5, volatile organic sampling train (VOST), and specific techniques for compounds such as formaldehyde. Analysis techniques included gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Continuous measurements were also made for a variety of compounds including total hydrocarbons by flame ionization detection (FID)."
